American Syrah

American Syrah, also known as Shiraz, is a star in regions such as California and Washington State, where it yields a diverse range of wine styles. The grape thrives in warm climates and on diverse soil types, creating a wine that can be powerful and full-bodied or more restrained and elegant, depending on the vineyard location and winemaking techniques. Flavours often include dark fruits like blackberry and plum, layered with spice, chocolate, or even smoked meat notes. Tannins can be high, but they are typically smooth, making the wine accessible at a young age but also capable of aging for several years. Whether enjoyed on its own or paired with hearty meat dishes, American Syrah offers a rich, flavoursome experience for red wine lovers.
